I wouldn't use either as an editor for programming, so *shrug* Notepad is okay for editing configuration files of various sorts, but it just plain lacks features for programming. And at this point WordPad is reaching the point of becoming Word Lite. :) On 2/8/10, 1SmartDog@xxxxxxx <1smartdog@xxxxxxx> wrote:Actually, the font settings are the same. I've just been doing moreresearch. I downloaded both "Context" which is a programmer's text editor as well as Notepad++. JFW functions in both as it does in Notepad. Wordpad, it seems, is not a pure text editor but does insert RTF codes. JFW sees a tabin Wordpad as "tab" in the code. In the pure text editor it just seesspaces. I sure wish I could change it, though. I'd rather hear "tab" insteadof the number of spaces. Thanks for the reply.

It doesn't (AIUI) actually extract the text, instead it looks at the blank space and calculates how many spaces there are. I'm guessing you use different font settings in the two editors.

In both these editors I've turned indents to announce. In Wordpad, what is announced is "left margin" "one tab" "two tabs", etc, which I like. In Notepad, lines which begin at the left margin are announced "one space" and tabs are announced as "7 spaces". I don't like the Notepad results. Any idea why they are different? Can I change this?
